I want thunderbird to block TOP LEVEL domains. This does not mean ([email protected]) or (example.com) This means .com

I have a huge list of Top Level domains I need to completely and totally block ALL emails from. I cannot block domains. That is a useless effort for 4 reasons:

1.) The Top Level Domain called .space (among other in my list) use spam email addresses such a example.space This gives them an INFINITE number of email addresses to use. There is NO way to block them other that at the TOP LEVEL.

2.) Blocking just the Domain ([email protected]) is also useless... read reason #1

3.) ICAAN has made it much easer for spammers to create unique top level domains. .... read reason #1

4.) My email provider does not and will not provide me options to block any Top Level Domain I choose. Its beneath them to provide such an essential tool.

So, How can I set up Thunderbird so that it will totally block and Never download from my mail server ANY top level domain that I choose???

I dont want to know about using other email programs. Just provide me a method, tool, app, add-on, shareware, or whatever that will let me use thunderbird to block TLDR's

Simple: Tools>Message Filters, "Match any of the following" From|ends with|.space (add a new entry for all top levels you would like to block), "Perform these actions" Delete Message.
